LRotor for RumlogNG

 If you looking to print a large ham radio map here is one to download.  A copy of the rotor control app from NF4L/Mike (SK). This can be used together with rumlogng. Click the link below.

CAT comand for ic-7300 to play recoded messages

You can use those CAT commands to play pre-recorded messages on the ic-7300. (the sample for mixw software) F1 CQ,{CAT1Hex FE FE 94 E0 28 00 01 FD} F2 CQ x2,{CAT1Hex FE FE 94 E0 28 00 02 FD} For mixw software would be the following T1 – Just change the last 01 or 02 nr to the desired message.

Some QSO's last night

New addition to my collection :) YOTA

Building nanoKeyer...

After some research found nice little thing called nanoKeyer...

This is arduino based winkeyer. Parts received and enclose...Fun begins :) 

All info can be found here: https://nanokeyer.wordpress.com/

My son involved as well :)

MixW and Flex-3000 CW&Digi modes all setup in pictures

Finally managed to get working CW and digi modes in MixW and Powersdr with my flex-3000.

Good article about adjusting audio on TS-590s

TS-590S audio hiss/noise

With high impedance earphones plugged into the audio jack on the Kenwood TS-590S, you can hear a really annoying noise even with the AF volume set to zero. This audio hiss has a constant level, is added to the audible RF noise and can prevent one from hearing weak CW signals on an otherwise quiet band. 

A simple quick-and-dirty solution is a resistor in series to the audio output. With this little modification the audio hiss becomes inaudible, while all radio signals are loud and clear. Depending on the resistor value, you have to increase the AF volume more or less. With the 1 kΩ resistor shown below, you have to increase to AF volume a lot. Clipping or other kinds of audio distortion may occur. Resistors with a value of 300 to 600 Ω are adequate. I personally have put in a 330 Ω resistor.

Another simple solution is the usage of a very low impedance headphone, where the impedance has to be close to 8 Ω.
